What do you like best about Lightshot?

Lightshot is the best app in the market for taking screenshots. I have been using this app for the last two and a half years; Lightshot is helping me in my daily life. I have recommended my colleagues also to use this Because it is reducing the work efforts. It's effortless to take screenshots and to send them to others. Easy clicks and sending. Kudos to the Lightshot team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lightshot?

The one small issue that I have faced with Lightshot is, In some devices, the screen capturing keys are different. In some devices, I have press only the prt sc key only, and in other devices, I have to press the fn, ctrl, or command key. This is not a big issue. But I recommend the team to fix this issue. But if you are asking me how is Lightshot, my answer is it's awesome!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Lightshot:

I don't have any recommendations because Lightshot is the best in the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lightshot solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have solved a lots of problems with Lightshot. Before using this software i was taking the pictures in my mobile and I was using it for official purpose. But After knowing about this product I just installed and tried once, It reduced my most of the works with screen capturing. Very easy to use and very friendly UI.

It is the best tool when it comes to taking snapshots. We can save, highlight and edit just by a single PrtScr button.

Super light and easy to work. There are multiple features you can share the image directly. You can highlight the part that you want. You can add text , Copy or even save the image. The images that are captured now go to the clipboard. Multiple edit options event without saving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing in this tool that one can dislike. The clipboard is a little challenging to find. However it gets stored in the local user repository. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Rapid snapshots.

Able to add snapshots to JIRA for bug reporting.

No need to save all snaps. Just Copy Paste.

What do you like best about Lightshot?

The tool is very simple to use and has other benefits too like you can save the screenshot as an URL or an image file. The best part of the tool is that we can choose the desired potion of the screen and not necessarily the entire screen is taken.So we can showcase the significant part of the screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lightshot?

Ohhhh!!! Not much but it will be slow at times.If that can be increased then this tool doesn't need a replacement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lightshot solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was using Printscreen before this and the problem with it is we can't choose a specific portion of the screen and can't mark an arrow and specific details in the screenshot are not marked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lightshot?

Would totally recommend it to anybody. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lightshot solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sending screenshots to colleagues regarding a particular area of saying a google sheet where there has been a flaw in entering some details. The marker,pen, line and highlight features are just a boon.

While preparing content, we need to take snips of graphs prepared in Excel and MINITAB and just copy-paste. Lightshot makes these tasks easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lightshot?

I like Lightshot because of how easy it is to use, it is not at all a complicated or heavy tool, it allows me to capture the screen, edit it quickly and send it, it doesn't take you much time to do it which saves a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lightshot?

The things I don't like about Lightshot is its simplicity, it's a good tool but its settings are very limited, it doesn't allow me to record small fragments, I can't add much customization to the photos when I edit them with the software and the worst thing is that it doesn't allow me to take photos of the entire web. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Lightshot:

Free and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lightshot solving and how is that benefiting you?

Despite the simplicity of the application and the few features that Lightshot has, I have to say that it is a software with which you can take screenshots without getting lost in the process because it is not a complicated software at all and because of that it has helped me to take photos in a fast and comfortable way.

What do you like best about Lightshot?

The best part of the light shot tool is that we quickly and fast catch a snap, and also, we highlighted something in the photo. The light shot is a fast tool, and we save time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lightshot?

There is nothing to dislike in the light shot tool, but one thing is that we didn't directly upload a snap. We must download a picture on our device then upload it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lightshot solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main thing is that we want a snap as we like and we save our time, to upload and download the picture. That tool is easy to use and this tool doesn't get too much space when we download. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
